I have two containers of premade Toll House cookie dough and it's 3 months past the "use by or freeze by" date. Is it safe to make and eat the cookies?

Asked by jca (36062points) June 22nd, 2010

I purchased two containers (tubs) of pre-made Toll House cookie dough around the holidays. it’s now mid-June. I just noticed that the “use by or freeze by” date was in March.

I know that sometimes food companies make the “use by” date premature, to be on the safe side. I don’t want to throw out these two tubs (approximately $20) worth of dough if it’s still good. On the other hand, i don’t want to make cookies that make people sick. What is your opinion?
